To this end, artists and music producers unrelated to the particular music genre are invited to participate in the compilation. In the first part of Doubts, the main topic was dub techno. The second edition of Doubts...

“Sub-Clouds” by Mateusz Wysocki and Michał Wolski is a record of a visit to the sound laboratory. The encounter of experienced musicians always has an experimental dimension, but in the case of the Mech duo, the laboratory metaphor also perfectly suits the description of the musical structure. A sterile, machine pulse, which is a...

Hubert Zemler’s new project is the musical equivalent of melatonin, which is known as the ‘sleep hormone’. The undoubtedly relaxing potential of the record’s first part filled with monotonous krautrock motifs and warm pastel colors might push a careless listener straight into Morpheus’s arms. Later on, the dream appears only as a vehicle for traveling...

Dreamy cinema is characterized by fragmentariness, references to historical aesthetics discarded long time ago and what’s more, by plenty of psychoanalysis. “Wendy” – a project of the Grupa Etyka Kurpina / Etyka Kurpina Group – is a soundtrack to this precisely image. The narrativity and assembly composition of the music are united here with the...

On the new Pawlacz Perski summer release Rhythm Baboon trapped us in rhythm, which – according to experts in the subject – is a distant reminiscences of Chicago’s footwork.

We are mainly seeking emotions in the faces of those whom we talk with, but after crossing the skin line the absorbed emotions dissolve and spill all over the brain. ‘Under The Face’ is trying to capture this very moment – when we do not understand yet, but we already feel. Naphta – a Wroclaw...

Once again, after a series of discrete electroacoustic improvisation, tapping sounds are coming from the storage space. This time, a horrible kid got stuck there while falling into a tangle of tentacles made of grempline and stylon, which for years of being necrotic, suddenly came to life under the influence of the youthful energy...

The musicians of Bachorze are playing as if they took to heart the Captain Beefheart’s advice – You should play like a drowning man, struggling to reach shore . ‘Okoły głębione wiatrem’ [PL: Crofts oppressed by wind] are dirty noisy substances caged by irregular pulse and infected with the blues virus. Psychodrama? Staging? Urban...

The Doubts compilation comprises dub techno tracks. Paide and Fischerle – the selectors and decision-makers – decided to change the artists’ standard direction of explorations. Trying to reverse the classic order of compilations alike, we invited the producers associated with widely understood experiment for whom the dub techno music has so far been an unexplored...

This 50-minute long recording by Cukier (Polish for Sugar) is a stodgy portion of sonic calories for electroacoustic improvisation lovers. But the musicians serve not only sweets – the listener is treated to a rich main course in the form of free jazz explosions over a neurotic drumbeat. The lyrical and melodic clarinet parts,...
